Deviant: Taylor is the perfect example of a person that breaks the society's norms. Her team is made up of a bunch of little kids, so they have no one to make them behave. Also they always manage to be the cooks, which is a hardworking job, but Taylor never cooks and leaves it to the other teams. Since there was no punishment for not doing anything, she continued to be lazy and never do her part. Lastly because of her actions of laziness, everyone voted her off the council for her lack of helping the town.
Stigma: A couple traits that are used to label Taylor is lazy, unreliable, and untrustworthy. Taylor did earn those traits because she hasn't been pulling any weight around the town. She also has promised that she would help out, but the next morning she just slept in and left everyone else to do her job. Another person that has a label is Greg because in the beginning he was cussing at little kids when he got angry. Lastly was considered bossy because she was the only one taking charge in the kitchen and there was a lot of work that had to be done.
Social Control: One of Taylor's friends was following in her footsteps by being lazy and not doing her job. The council pressured her into burying trash with them, or she was going to not get paid. If she didn't get paid, then she wouldn't be able to buy any thing that she needs or wants. Another example of social control is when someone wants to leave then everyone in the town encourages them to stay. For example a little girl wanted to leave, but because her friend danced in the talent show and made her happy, she decided to stay.
